Darth Vader was once a handsome, long-dark-haired man, and that sounds pretty kickass and awesome in my opinion......
The story as portrayed in the OT is: Anakin was a great Jedi, a kind and trusted friend, who was lured by the dark side and sadly became the cold-hearted villain named Vader.
The story as realized in the PT is: Anakin was a whiny, egotistical, immature, narcistic, moral-less untrustworthy jerk, who became a seriously badass dude in a cape and mask named Vader who can strangle people with the force. Frankly, I might even trust Vader more than Hayden.
I personally prefer the first version. That's why I don't care to see Hayden in ESB, ROTJ, SW, ANH, or anywhere else in the OT. Sebastian Shaw's Anakin was a kind and trusted friend. Hayden's Anakin was a twit.
(that's not a knock on Hayden - he is capable of good acting)
